Ah. Thanks for explaining. The patch helps somewhat, but one can still
get into an inconsistent state:

  1. Write \(1 + 2\)
  2. Toggle overlay with C-c C-x C-l
  3. M-x revert-buffer

After the revert, the overlay remains, which is arguably OK, since the
text has not changed. However after the revert org doesn't realize that
the overlay is still up: org-latex-fragment-image-overlays is nil.

I think the overlays should all disappear on a revert.

Thanks!
